Abstract: Method and system for optimizing the process of initiating a phone call (call placement) on a mobile phone wherein the call routing is monitored and managed through the Internet. A mobile phone user is connected to a dedicated web server with a user-friendly interface that gathers predefined user's identification parameters, in particular: the user's location, the user's phone and subscriber numbers, the destination phone number, and various details that may be applicable to the specific user and the specific mobile network. Then, the most cost-effective (in call rates terms) or most quality-effective (in voice quality terms) option is selected automatically (or semi-automatically). The system then creates the most efficient configuration (call-through, call-back or a mixed configuration thereof) between the user's mobile phone and the destination phone.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and a method for managing messages that are designated to a user's mobile communication device, using at least one internet messaging service. According to some embodiments of the invention, the system may comprise a user's device; at least one database; a managing server; and a distributor. Upon identification of a new message the managing server may send the details of the designated user to the distributor, and consequentially, the distributor may initiate a call to the user's device to notify the user regarding the arrival of the new message, using said user's details. Upon receiving the notification the user may enter a messaging service site (managed by the managing server) to view the message.
